The Home of Live Comedy is wrapping up 2025 with a feast of live comedy stuffed with our best headliners and rising stars.

Bookings are now open but a word of warning. The Xmas Season is our busiest time of year and there are only a limited number of shows and a limited number of seats so BOOK EARLY.

Attn GROUP BOOKERS : If you are a larger group of 25+ then we recommend you email us on info@comedy.co.nz so that we can make arrangements to suit your group requirements. Any group can book for 10 or more people and we will arrange tables together. You can also add further bookings under the same name and they will be seated together with the previous booking.

Whoops! Some of the Xmas Comedy Showcases are already very close to SOLD OUT so we have added BONUS XMAS ALLSTARS Shows in our funky Studio Venue at 7:30pm on the 1st floor (READ MORE).
